Is it possible to submit additional documents to Geisel at this stage? Has anyone done so?
Idk about additional documents, but they do accept short updates in the form of email. Do you mean like an extra recommendation? I'd contact the admissions office just to be sure
Are there many folks like me who were complete 8/15 (or earlier) who are still waiting? Starting to wonder what the hold up is
8-13 and silence from me. They have been rejecting a lot of people over the last few months though, so still being in the running is at least good (maybe)
They explained at my interview day that what happens is if the first person who reviews your file is unsure as to whether or not to give you an interview you go to a second reviewer and that can go down the line for awhile. Also some reviewers are busy/slow and thus they end up with long waits. The good news is you're still very much in the running!
i was complete on 8/10 and got an ii like 3 days ago
congrats!
what day did you pick?? and congrats!!
Did you send any updates recently?

did everyone that sent in updates receive a confirmation e-mail?
Nope!
Congrats to those accepted! I am interviewing on Tuesday and had a quick question! For those of you who stayed a hotel, what was the best taxi/transport service to get from your hotel to the medical school or from the medical school to the airport? Apparently, the taxi services are not always reliable so I wanted to ask the best way to get from places in Lebanon! Thank you!
there's no uber! but if you can catch the bus (look up which one), it'll drop you almost in front of the admissions office
Your hotel may actually have a shuttle service! That's how I got around Hanover. Check with them.
Interview on Tuesday!
+1 ;'(
I interviewed 12/6. Any clue when I might hear some news? I remember them being relatively vague at the time...
5 to 8 weeks seems typical, but they said it might be until March when i interviewed very early January

Anyone get an interview recently (within 1-2 days?)
Rejected- Complete mid July.Good luck everyone!
Wow, sorry to hear that! After such a long wait too 🙁
Are we still going with the "no news is good news" concept? Interviews end in March right?
No news is good news for people who've interviews and heard nothing too...?

On a scale from 1-10, with 1 being bad, 10 being good and 5 being neutral... IMO "no news" is probably a 4, or maybe 3.5.
Same for those who haven't gotten an II yet? Surviving this many rounds of rejection has really gotten my hopes up
In that case "no news" is probably a 2.5 or so... Out of 24 schools I applied to, I only got outright rejections at 2 of them. The rest was either II or silence. Hopefully I'm wrong!
have you sent in an update recently?
Yep, about 2 weeks ago. I'll just try and be optimistic until the end of next month lol

When do they stop interviewing?
Yeah but here they do reject. I'd say it's a 4. Interviews are sparser this late in the game but you'd be rejected by now if it was done
I agree with this. I just wish there was something I could do to get them to pull the trigger because I feel like my app is sitting in some alternate/continue to review pile right now. With the cycle ending, how much longer will they continue to review us, ya know?
I'm also a little paranoid to call/email to check on my status because I feel like maybe they'd rush through my review just get me an answer. As someone with a very low LizzyM, but great story, I really want them to take their time (BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT)
Last year they interviewed and extended interviews in March (maybe late February) I believe. Sit tight and good luck!

really hate to be that person but one of my friends who interviewed at Dartmouth told me that she interviewed at the beginning of the cycle and they never contacted her until March where she was eventually rejected. Meanwhile, my friend who interviewed this cycle in November has already been accepted.. I really hope I'm wrong! 🤢

Last year, the last II reported for Dartmouth was on March 8th. So if they are being consistent, there should be at least another month of IIs
Dang, I interviewed in November and have had silence. Oh well, probably also means rejection for me.
Tough thing is that it is not a school where too many students will release an II based on other acceptances, and small class to begin with.

anybody know when an early january interviewee might hear back?
